Numismatic Happiness
CIT Coin Invest has been producing various series for years, whose products implement technical innovations on the one hand and are also popular with non-collectors as they are lucky charms and attractive presents. We present all new numismatic lucky charms CIT released in the first quarter of 2021. As usual with CIT, all pieces have one thing in common: they are NOT medals but coins with nominal value issued on behalf of a state.
